AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Reminding me why he was recently preferred to Taylor by almost everyone. Not that Taylor hasn't played brilliantly like, but Willo is such a no-nonsense player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 very tidy tonight and really quick to get back into the swing of things when you think how long he was out. not that i want colo to go or anything but i think williamson and saylor wouldn't make too bad a partnership, not better than either with colo, but i wouldn't be worrying if those two had to play together.

Cajun Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Pards clearly rates him higher than Taylor judging by his full strength comments tonight. Pardew said something along the lines of "We probably put out the best team from what we had available" so I wouldn't look too much into it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the guys in the studio took the piss out of Taylor for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 He definitely said it on MOTD so maybe he had time to calm down and say what he really meant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Very underrated return to the team. Been quietly fantastic. I think that's just what he's about. A good no frills defender who is always on his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Full credit to Williamson and the physios that he's come straight into the team, during an injury 'crisis', after 3-4months out and managed to slot straight back into the team with only half a (very leggy) reserve game under his belt. Hasn't suffered any recurrences of his previous injury (touch wood) and for the last couple of games he's looked back to full health. A pleasant change from the 'bad' old days of rushing players back too soon for them to hobble back into the treatment room. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Was dominant today. Was it him who nearly scored that long range curler in the first few minutes? great effort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 He's a decent no frills defender. Love that he always communicates with his team-mates and even barks a few orders which was evident all game today. He was constantly telling Simpson to push up a bit which helped Simpson, he was basically saying me and Colo and Abeid have things covered, you get on your bike. Good reader of the game which for a defender always helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Colo completely bailed him out once when he gave the ball away, and they scored from the resulting corner. After that he looked far better and was dead unlucky not to score today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 The guy is a hero. Wish he had scored today though. Had a rocky spell before his injury, but in general he is one of the best readers of play we have had at the back, his pace obviously lets him down but he is generally a great calming influence at the back and strong in the air. Great to have him back in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Looking much stronger than before his injury here... http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/406560_2459175234483_1105217279_31935811_1730758285_n.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Unsung hero since he's been back. Excellent acquisition by the club. He's rarely let us down, and when he has it was down to injury or rustiness. Hope he continues to improve. Such a threat from set-pieces. Due a goal or five!

Guest WashyGeordie Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 http://www.nufc.co.uk/javaImages/b/3b/0,,10278~10369803,00.gif By Dan King - Newcastle United Club Reporter After meeting Sir Richard Branson at the Northumberland Street branch of Virgin Money, Newcastle defender Mike Williamson admitted to being "star-struck" by the billionaire magnate. Williamson, along with Davide Santon and Sammy Ameobi, went along to the city centre store to meet Sir Richard, whose company have recently taken over Northern Rock and last week agreed a two-year deal as the club's new shirt sponsors. And the centre-half told nufc.co.uk that he was honoured to spend time with the fourth richest man in the UK, who built up his business empire after leaving school with barely any qualifications. "I think it's hard not to admire him, the achievements he's set, the things he's done and the businesses that he's ran," said Williamson. "It's incredible and I'm quite star-struck at the minute! "I've just been watching him going around and communicating with people and doing interviews. He's got a real aura about him and he's a chatty, nice, welcoming guy as well. "For somebody with the assets that he's got, he's very down-to-earth." Since Virgin Money began their sponsorship of the Magpies last week, United have won both of their games, They beat Manchester United 3-0 before progressing to the third round of the FA Cup with victory over Blackburn on Saturday, and Williamson is pleased that it has proven to be such a good partnership. "It has been, and long may it continue," he said. "We're in confident form and the results are coming in, so we'll hopefully be able to carry that on."
